This has all been about rezoning the land. currently it's zoned as (Enterprise, Light industry & Commercial). The lads want it now to be zoned as residential which will massively increase the land value.

These lads ain't got the money they have for nothing.

they have politicians on speed dial and we barely get off our holes to vote every 4 or 5 years, guess who our politicians actually work for

It should be noted that having the appropriate zoning and planning hasn't stopped the Comers from doing exactly nothing for 3-4 years on one of their property plays in Sandyford. Ditto Portumna.

If I was a betting man, I'd say that if the Council bent to the will of the Comers and rezoned the place, the site would be for sale in the next day for someone else to build out...for reasons.

It amazes me that a relatively small number of people and vested interests can make Irish towns and cities look like absolute dumps.

Buy a load of property let it go derelict and have a knock on effect of the local property values depreciation at its finest.

There is no reason why they cannot get skips in there to clean it out and board up the windows it's a disgrace as it's the first thing you see when you arrive in Galway. Great thing to see during our term of City of Culture

Reason. Because it would cost them money.

I’d imagine most tourist traffic turns right when the motorway finishes and the first thing they’d see is KFC

Regardless, the CGS is on a major thoroughfare into the city on a commanding site. It's seen by thousands of people everyday and a lot of them will be visitors. Just think of how many buses enter the city on that route every single day.

I think we're that used to it, we'll nearly miss the wreck when it's gone.

Exactly. And I did. Years ago when I first arrived to Galway. I'm still shocked by the first sight of it entering Galway in the couch... That shock won't go away. If I was local I'd be highly embarrassed by this.

Before the homeless, it was those poor unfortunate tourists that got our sympathy.
